THE NEW
COMPLETE GOLDEN RETRIEVER
by Gertrude Fischer
 
Review by Edell Schaefer
Considered by many to be one of the foremost historians on
the breed, Ms. Fischer is eminently qualified to write this
book which will appeal to the potential Golden Retriever owner,
as well as the novice or long-standing fancier. Typical of
the Howell Book House publication, this book has chapters on
general care, breeding, and training. The real value is in
the history and photographs, and the supplemental chapters
on the standard, and Goldens in foreign countries. Contributors
to this book include: Elma Stonex ("Development of the breed
in Great Britain and Other Lands"); Rachel P. Elliott ("The
Golden Retriever breed standard - an analytical discussion);
Ann F. Walters ("Training for retriever field trials"); and
Dora Gostyn ("Field Trials in the British Isles). Originally
published in 1974 as THE COMPLETE GOLDEN RETRIEVER, this version
was significantly updated and revised in 1984. A must- have
for any Golden Retriever owner, despite the lack of an index.
